Assessment of lower urinary tract function in pediatrics using ultrasonography.
Journal of Medical Ultrasonics 2023 September 2
Ultrasound imaging is a less invasive imaging modality without radiation exposure and is available for repeated tests. It is the gold standard examination for diagnosing and managing disorders of the urinary tract, including lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) in pediatric urology. Ultrasound imaging is effective for screening underlying diseases and determining treatment strategies. Ultrasound examination at the bedside should focus on post-voided residual urine (PVR), bladder wall thickening, renal morphology, and rectal diameter. Since PVR must be tested immediately after voiding, examining infants who cannot complain of the urge to void is difficult. PVR measurement combined with a 4-h voiding observation or alarm system activated by urine is recommended for these infants. Early diagnosis is important because LUTD is associated with the risk of morbid residual urine and high voiding pressure, which can result in renal deterioration, urinary leakage, and febrile urinary tract infection.
